TLDR
Recent advances in Jak–STAT biology are reviewed, focusing on immune cell function, disease etiology and therapeutic intervention, as well as broader principles of gene regulation and signal-dependent TFs.Abstract:
Kinases of the Jak ('Janus kinase') family and transcription factors (TFs) of the STAT ('signal transducer and activator of transcription') family constitute a rapid membrane-to-nucleus signaling module that affects every aspect of the mammalian immune system. Research on this paradigmatic pathway has experienced breakneck growth in the quarter century since its discovery and has yielded a stream of basic and clinical insights that have profoundly influenced modern understanding of human health and disease, exemplified by the bench-to-bedside success of Jak inhibitors ('jakinibs') and pathway-targeting drugs. Here we review recent advances in Jak-STAT biology, focusing on immune cell function, disease etiology and therapeutic intervention, as well as broader principles of gene regulation and signal-dependent TFs.read more

The role of a functional variant of TYK2 in vasculitides and infections.
Lourdes Ortiz-Fernández,Raquel López-Mejías,F.D. Carmona,Angel L. Castaño‐Nuñez,Paul A. Lyons,Antonio Caruz,María Francisca González-Escribano,Kenneth G. C. Smith,Miguel A. González-Gay,Javier Martín +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the TYK2 variant provides protection against two vasculitides: GCA and AAV and does not play a relevant role in IgAV or in susceptibility to HCV and HVI-1, and is not found to be associated with IgAV.

Inside-out and outside-in organotypic normal human skin culture: JAK-STAT pathway is activated after pro-inflammatory psoriatic cytokine exposure.
TL;DR: In this article, the early, direct, and specific effects of interleukin (IL)-17, IL-22, TNF-α and a combination of the four cytokines (Mix) on the JAK-STAT/pathway were investigated in an organotypic experimental model of normal human skin.

Cytokines in Lupus
TL;DR: The broad activation of the interferon (IFN)-I pathway in cells of patients with lupus, along with rapid progress in the elucidation of the toll-like receptor system, has helped reformulate the view of lupu pathogenesis to include an important role for innate immune system activation.

RNF144A shapes the hierarchy of cytokine signaling to provide protective immunity against influenza
Behdad Afzali,S. Kim,Erin E. West,Estefania Nova-Lamperti,N. Cheru,Hiroyuki Nagashima,Bingyu Yan,Tilo Freiwald,N. Merle,Daniel Chauss,M. Bijlmakers,Gregory Weitsman,Zu-Xi Yu,Dragana Jankovic,Suman Mitra,Alejandro V. Villarino,Claudia Kemper,Arian Laurence,Majid Kazemian,John J. O'Shea,Susan D. John +20 more
TL;DR: A vital physiological role for RNF144A is revealed in maintaining the fidelity of IL-2R signaling in CTLs to prevent severe inflammation in response to infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upregulation of programmed cell death 1 by interferon gamma and its biological functions in human monocytes
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper found that IFNγ significantly upregulated the PD-1 expression in both THP-1 cell line and human primary monocytes in a dose-and time-dependent manner.

Journal ArticleDOI
Immunologic self-tolerance maintained by activated T cells expressing IL-2 receptor alpha-chains (CD25). Breakdown of a single mechanism of self-tolerance causes various autoimmune diseases.
TL;DR: The authors showed that CD4+CD25+ cells contribute to maintaining self-tolerance by downregulating immune response to self and non-self Ags in an Ag-nonspecific manner, presumably at the T cell activation stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jak-STAT pathways and transcriptional activation in response to IFNs and other extracellular signaling proteins
TL;DR: A previously unrecognized direct signal transduction pathway to the nucleus has been uncovered: IFN-receptor interaction at the cell surface leads to the activation of kinases of the Jak family that phosphorylate substrate proteins called STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription).

A Gain-of-Function Mutation of JAK2 in Myeloproliferative Disorders
Robert Kralovics,Francesco Passamonti,Andreas Buser,Soon Siong Teo,Ralph Tiedt,Jakob Passweg,André Tichelli,Mario Cazzola,Radek C. Skoda +8 more
TL;DR: Genetic evidence and in vitro functional studies indicate that V617F gives hematopoietic precursors proliferative and survival advantages and a high proportion of patients with myeloproliferative disorders carry a dominant gain-of-function mutation of JAK2.

Acquired mutation of the tyrosine kinase JAK2 in human myeloproliferative disorders.

TL;DR: A single acquired mutation of JAK2 was noted in more than half of patients with a myeloproliferative disorder and its presence in all erythropoietin-independent erythroid colonies demonstrates a link with growth factor hypersensitivity, a key biological feature of these disorders.

A unique clonal JAK2 mutation leading to constitutive signalling causes polycythaemia vera

TL;DR: A clonal and recurrent mutation in the JH2 pseudo-kinase domain of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene in most (> 80%) polycythaemia vera patients leads to constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation activity that promotes cytokine hypersensitivity and induces erythrocytosis in a mouse model.
